Still Alive

gga

Yes, this is one of those irritating posts. Where a blog that you
thought had quietly retired suddenly reappears with a post. A post
that says basically nothing. A very self-indulgent post just promising
that there will actually be real work worth reading reappearing soon.

Why couldn’t the blogger just leave us all in peace? Why this attempt
to appear that he hasn’t just gotten bored or too lazy to update? Why
this empty post tantalising and teasing with a promise; only to
disappoint with more deathly silence.

Yep, this is one of those posts.

But! I actually do promise to post something real soon. No! Really!

And, in a desperate attempt to appear trustworthy, here’s a short
overview of what’s been going on.

Switched from the horror of
FreeBSD
I now have a brand new MacBook
Pro as my primary
computer. After nine years I’m finally being paid to use the platform
I stayed loyal to throughout the dark years. Hopefully the new
computer, well set up, will actually help me write more here. It got
me writing this.

New project. Can’t talk about it. Cool though. Has inspired some
general problem solving that I can talk about though. There will be
some technical recipes on here for the first time.

Briefly had a fish tank on my desk at work. It was very nice. The
tank did well, but then I had to move desks. Probably worth doing, but
you’d want to be more sure of where you were sitting.

Joined a book club. Read quite a few books. And yep, that means
reviews. There will be some of those coming soon.
